Leylandii? Needles?

Well, I dunno what to call them, they're not really leaves
either, sort of
flattened segmented branching sprays.
Yes. You are now talking about cypress leaves.
Anyway, whatever you call them,
it's a Leylandii, I've got a whole hedge of it too so it's
not a case of
mistaken identity. That's it then, it's coming down!
cheers,

PS; Getting the triple stump out will be a killer, it's at
least 16" across
at the base.
At that size, it might be worth while if you can find a tree
surgeon to come and demolish the stump in situ with a root
grinder.
Or better still, why do you not prune the dead tree to a
sensible shape and use it as a support for growing a
climber?
Rose, clematis, Russian vine....

That's on the list of possibilities: last year, half in anticipation
I planted a Zepherine Drouhin climbing rose, a Jackmanii Superba
clematis and a Lonicera Henryi at the base. I'd prefer a clean
slate but discretion is the better part of valour, so maybe I'd
best make the trunk into a 'feature'!.
